' 5 extinguishing lighted cigarettes.

Another object of my invention is to pro-; vide a manually operated device for extinguishing'cigarettes wherein is embodied convenient means for detachably securing the same to a suitable support. 7

Other objects more or less apparentfwill present themselves or will be specifically pointed out inthe description to follow.

In the accompanying drawings, Fig.1 is a perspective view of a cigarette extinguishing device embodying my I inven tion, showing a cigarettevinpo'sition therein for extinguishment; 1' p v 0 Fig. 2 is a front view of the device, showbroken away; and w Fig. 3 is a side View of the same.

Iieferring to the drawings, the numeral 1 represents a body member constructed from flexible sheet metal such as iron,having its top part bent outwardly asat 2 and downwardly as at 3. The device is attachable. to a support in various ways, onelof which is to position a support 4 between th-e body 1 and the downwardly disposed part 3 with the outwardly bent part 2 resting on the top. edge of the said support. v I

The lower end of the body; member 1 is bent outwardly andinwardly to form a 'semiminating in an upwardly extending inclined part or member 6. The points at which the, upwardly extending inclined part 6 is joined to the semi-circularshaped spring 5 are positioned adjacent but separated from the'lower end-of the body member 1, and the top edge. of the said part 6 is positioned in a widely separated location fromf'the top end of the said body member. The upwardly extending inclined part'6is movedtoward the body ing apart of the hand manipulated plate circular shaped spring part 5, the latter tertractedecauses thersame to return to its normal posltlon.

A lighted cigarette 7 may be extinguished. '7 by firstly placing the same between the body w member and the upwardly extending inclined '65 1 Y part 6 and then moving the saidpart 6 toward the said body memberuntil the .cigarette is firmly pressed between'the saidbody and the, part6.

' It isobvious to those skilled'in the art i that my improved cigarette extinguisher'may I be constructed in other shapes and may be ati tachable to various kinds of supports in other. ways thanthose shown, on the drawings: So i for these and other apparent reasonsl desire my invention included broadly within f' the spirit of the appended claim.

Ha'ving described my inventlon, what 1- gclaimis: T v A oigarette extinguisher comprisingv an integral sheet of flexible material having f anoutwardly and upwardly extending part located at one end thereof, which said upwardly extending part may be actuated toward the sheet of vmaterial to compress a 7 cigarette, the said sheet of material also having a downwardly extendingpart; for attachment and detachment to and from a support. i
